this is an example of what am saying after searching on skyscanner
and clicking on the lowest price, it will redirect to the mainsite of the lower price you choose
then you will see what currency they are going to charge you with,
for this one i picked below they are using Euro as their currency to charge, so how do you intend paying with black market rate ?


Iampeaceful:

Lagos to Paris for three people N1.2m


Lagos to Italy for three people N1.5M

lol.

I always laugh when people post online search result that Ticket cost is XYZ.

Try their website I mean the airlines and not what google gives you to see.

The cheapest flight from Lagos or Abuja as of today 30/11/2022 to either Paris or Rome for one individual is N1.1m

Check Air France, KLM, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, Air Maroc, Egypt Air

The online search uses official exchange rate to ESTIMATE, which is wrong

even if you are paying at black market rate via scanner, it’s still cheaper than going through the airplane directly or those local travel agency like Wakanow and the likes.

The advice indirectly is that they should use a $ rate and not a Naira rate.

You can source for the dollar and then pay it into your card account and pay.

Even at that, it is not cheaper than using the normal source.

All airlines that operate in Nigeria have websites and office addresses, most of them are in Lagos.

These foreign sites just lump everything together and when you click, you would still be directed to the main site of the airlines.

It is best to either use your trusted travel agent or deal with the airlines directly.

yes o. Just got back from Istanbul 2 days ago. While Waka now was charging 700k+ for Egypt air, and Egypt air was charging same rate in dollars when converted at black market rate, I booked a flight on skyscanner for like 500k+ when converted at the prevailing black market rate as at then.

Initially, I had doubts if they were authentic.

I will always book with skyscanner henceforth, as long as these dollar crises prevail. You get it at a cheaper rate.

UPS can be at any of the lekki Office, if you check one they would look up your name and tell you the branch to go to.

Congrats
